Expanded Access to Expert Neurosurgical Care
Two nationally recognized neurological surgeons join UChicago Medicine AdventHealth, bringing advanced brain, spine, and cerebrovascular expertise closer to home
UChicago Medicine AdventHealth’s expert neurosurgical team is skilled at treating the most complex brain, spine, and nervous system disorders with a whole-person approach.
That team now includes Abhiraj D. Bhimani, MD, a neurological surgeon, and Omar Choudhri, MD, MHCI, FACS, FAANS, a cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeon.
Dr. Bhimani and Dr. Choudhri join a world-class neuroscience program that provides comprehensive care for a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, brain tumors, spinal disorders, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.
Patients also benefit from advanced technologies and treatment options, including image-guided neurosurgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, neurointerventional procedures and specialized neurocritical care.
The addition of Drs. Bhimani and Choudhri gives UChicago Medicine AdventHealth’s communities expanded access to leading-edge neurosurgical care, helping patients receive advanced treatment closer to home while benefiting from a coordinated, multidisciplinary team approach.
Dr. Choudhri brings nationally recognized expertise in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, including the treatment of brain aneurysms, carotid disease, brain arteriovenous malformations/cavernous malformations, pulsatile tinnitus, cerebral venous disease, moyamoya disease, stroke, intracranial atherosclerosis, meningiomas and skull base tumors.
“It’s important to make sure my patient trusts me, knows that I can do an excellent job and get the best outcomes for them and be able to talk to them at every stage of their journey for a difficult operation,” says Dr. Choudhri.
Dr. Choudhri sees patients at the UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Medical Group Neurological Surgery office in Hinsdale.
Dr. Bhimani’s clinical interests include complex spinal disorders, spinal tumors, spinal deformities, neurotrauma and pain disorders.
He sees patients at UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Medical Group Neurological Surgery offices in Bolingbrook, Carol Stream and Hinsdale.
“Every patient deserves expert care that sees them as a whole person and helps them move forward with confidence,” said Dr. Bhimani. “My goal is to listen carefully, understand how a condition is affecting someone’s daily life, and develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects their unique needs.”
